Description
The Venetian Rain is a 2 light outdoor chain pendant with a brushed bronze die-cast frame and ribbed rain glass panels enclosing two E14 bulb positions. The lantern-style body hangs from a chain adjustable between 700mm and 1900mm drop, with a decorative ribbed crown and base casting that references Italian Renaissance architectural detailing.
Designed for covered outdoor areas including front porches, rear patio canopies, loggia and carriage-style entrances, the pendant carries an IP23 rating which protects against vertically falling water and spray at angles up to 60 degrees from vertical. This makes it suitable for positions under a roof overhang or gazebo ceiling but not for fully exposed open-air mounting. The 184mm width and 629mm body height suit typical residential porch ceiling heights of 2.4-3m.
The rain glass panels use vertical ribbing to diffuse and scatter light from the two E14 bulbs, creating a ripple effect against the surrounding metal frame when lit. The brushed bronze finish on the die-cast metalwork shows visible texture and tonal variation across the surface, giving a hand-finished appearance rather than uniform plating. Each decorative element on the frame — the beaded crown band, the fluted ribs on the lower section, the turned finial — is cast as part of the metal housing rather than applied separately.
The chain suspension allows the pendant to be shortened during installation by removing links to suit lower ceiling heights or lengthened to its full 1900mm drop for double-height covered porches. The E14 candle bulbs are sold separately, allowing you to choose between warm-white LED for year-round outdoor use or filament-style bulbs for decorative effect. Maximum wattage per bulb is 60W.

Frequently Asked
What does IP23 mean for outdoor use?
IP23 protects against vertically falling rain and water spray at angles up to 60 degrees from vertical. This pendant is suitable for covered outdoor areas like porches, patios with roof canopies, and loggia, but not for fully exposed positions without overhead shelter.
What bulbs does it take?
The pendant takes two E14 candle bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs (2700K-3000K) at 4-6W for outdoor durability, or filament-style bulbs for decorative effect in well-sheltered positions.
Can the drop height be adjusted?
Yes. The 1200mm chain can be shortened during installation by removing links, giving a minimum drop of 700mm and maximum of 1900mm. This allows the pendant to suit standard 2.4m ceilings or higher double-height covered porches.
How is the rain glass cleaned?
The ribbed glass panels can be wiped with a damp microfibre cloth and warm soapy water. For the brushed bronze frame, use a dry cloth to avoid water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes which can damage the brushed finish.
